Ever wonder why corticosteroids like dexamethasone treat cerebral edema related to brain tumors?

I assumed the answer involved "anti-inflammatory effects", but there's much more going on.

It's amazing to see how the med student Anki community has grown and how robust open source #MedEd content has become over the years.

Kudos to the @AnKingMed team and everyone who has contributed!

#TipsForNewDocs

Sometimes it's hard to change your mind. You see a pt, settle on a diagnosis, then find something that doesn't fit.

Don't ignore the twinge of discomfort: talk it over w/a colleague.

Fresh eyes may combat anchoring bias and keep you honest.

When I was a PGY-1, neuro-oncologist Dr. Darin Carabenciov taught me a quick yet systematic approach to MR imaging of brain lesions. I am on call this weekend and am still utilizing his teachings to this day! A thread: (1/7)

@Willyintheworld Been turning my gears on this actually. I think web3 can potentially facilitate this for anyone making quality open-access MedEd content. Exciting times!

Phenomenal paper just published in Science persuasively demonstrating that EBV causes most if not all multiple sclerosis.

Phenomenal epidemiological design and technical achievement. 👏

Many people have used and shared the "AnKing Settings" over the past few years.

Now that I have years more experience, I decided to clarify my actual recommendations and make much more comprehensive video discussing Anki's algorithm and settings:

Medical students direct their own learning.
How can educators help?
-recommend flashcards that correspond to lectures
-design more curricular content in the form of flashcards as opposed to slides and handouts
-decrease faculty-delivered lectures

How many letters are in the alphabet?

How many bones are in the body?

I remember a story about a chess prodigy who saw colors instead of pieces.

I knew a cardiology fellow who saw a beating heart instead of EKGs.

We see not only what we can.

We see what we choose to.

#TipsForNewDocs

If you understand pathophysiology, you'll understand etiology and then differential diagnosis.

Reason >>> memorization (unless it's interstitial lung disease or glomerulonephritis, in which case- good luck).
